Question:

He says he can't make me happy and needs to be on his own to get normal.

Answers:
People who are severely depressed. Tend to want to be alone. They can see many causes for their depression. It is what most Psychiatrist and therapist call major depression.
From the way you say it. It does not sound like he is blaming you for his depression. Just that his being depressed causes him to not be able to make you happy.
He needs to Seek help from a professional. Most people with major depression can not function on their own let alone in a relationship. With out professional help.
Good luck.

This is quite typical of a clinically depressed person. If they are not suicidal, give them space. You should not expect him to make you happy or vice versa. Be available if needed, but don't crowd. Let him find his own way. You will both be happier in the long run.
